Outdoor Qi Gong

This activity will focus on the simple but fundamental core foundation exercises at the heart of tai chi and chi kung practice. This activity concentrates on foundation training in Tai Chi, Chi Kung and meditation, with a goal to developing chi (internal energy) and relaxation in both body and mind.

It is an ancient, time-tested traditional Chinese method of self-development, and is a subtle blend of the most refined Medical, Meditative and Martial knowledge combining self-discipline, graceful movement and effortless power.

Students develop increasing physical and mental skills, as awareness and understanding of all aspects of their self increases. You can learn and practise Tai Chi at your individual pace, and, as there are ever-new levels, throughout the rest of your life. These disciplines rely on a mindful re-discovery of the body to enrich and inspire one's experience of any aspect of life.
